[fa.info-mac] Macput

Is there a version of macput that will send more than one file at a time?
Wildcards don't seem to be handled in the usual way.  It would be useful
to have a Kermit-like batch modem for sending a lot a files.

If there isn't, I'll try to modify the current one.

You can get macput to send multiple files by writing a simple loop in the
shell.  For example to download everything ending in .c and the file prog.doc,
just type the following to the csh prompt:

	foreach file (*.c prog.doc)
		macput -u $file
	end

Someone here has even written a shell script that looks at the suffix
(.rsrc, .data, or .info) and determines which switch to give to macput.

There is a shell script called macsend that passed by on the net a while
ago which uses standard shell wildcards, calls macput and rings the bell
when done.  It is included (along with macput, macget, tohex, fromhex,
and xbin ) in a more recent posting of UN*X/Mac Utilities to 
net.sources.mac by Chuq von Rospatch (sp?) (or is that Koala).  He is
trying to arrange an interchange of net.sources.mac with Arpa so you
may see it soon.
